Getting the Green Light from Your Wife to Buy a Boat

These excuses from our Facebook fans could lean the scale your way when convincing the wife you should plunk down cold, hard cash for a brand-new skiff.

Tell her ... “But Honey, the other boat scared away all of the big fish. This one is so shiny they won’t be able to help themselves.”

~ Alex Burgess

Point to the poling platform and excitedly tell her,  “Look! It even has a place  for you to work on your tan!” 

~ Blake Michaleski

Well, I was going to buy you a diamond ring but this skiff is a lot more practical.

 ~ Stephen W. Rogers

“You know the yacht you always wanted? The one for sunset cruises and trips around the world? Well, this ain’t it — but it’s a start. 

~ Chris Lancaster 

Let her know that it is the last boat you’ll ever need. 

~ Cindy James Pinder

You can always tell her that your new pushpole came with a matching skiff.

~ Jonathan Tomlinson

“It followed me home.”

 ~ Michael R. King

“Babe, this new skiff is cheaper than a golf membership down at the club and I don’t have to buy a new $500 driver every weekend to replace the one I launch into the lake each round!” 

~ Chris Ivy, Skull Island Boats

You can tell her it was cheaper than a Corvette! 

~ Paul Wolter

 

Tell her,  “We both believe family is No. 1. This boat will help us keep it that way — plus, it’s great on gas.” 

~ Ted Matthews

Remind her that she got a Mercedes so it only makes sense that you get a skiff. 

~ Dwane Hahn

 

You can always give her a new skiff as a birthday present and tell her that it’s something you can use together.

~ Nate Shaw

“But, I had all this extra money I saved from giving you a smaller diamond!” 

~ Brandon Swanson

Walk in the door excited, take her to the driveway to show her the skiff and say, “Look, they finally sponsored me!”

~ Roddy Hays
